An aerial view looks down on a large walled castle with a round tower, beside a small harbour with a breakwater curving into the sea. Houses cluster on the left along the shore, and a small boat sits in the harbour basin. Printed title lettering runs across the sea at the top, and a small printed credit line appears in the lower right corner.

Description, scan 2
An aerial view looks down on a harbour enclosed by a thick walled fort with a large round tower at the front. A small boat sits in the water inside the harbour, and a long breakwater runs out to the right. White houses line the shore on the left, with trees and rough ground below, and dark sea fills the top of the frame behind printed title lettering.
